Murkowski should now take a stand

Posted: Thursday, November 25, 2010

In a debate this election season, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski dodged answering the question of whether or not she would vote to repeal the failed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy by saying that she was waiting for the results of the study taken on service members willingness to repeal (the policy). Now that the survey is about to be released, Sen. Murkowski needs to remember her own words, and that she won this election on the backs of independents and Democrats unsatisfied with either other candidate.

This is an opportunity for Sen. Murkowski to vote her conscience and for the national good. Don't let us down, Senator.
